We build the site
first. You decide
after.

Most web designers ask you to pay for something you haven't seen. We do it the other way round: we build your website, send you the link, and you tell us yes or no.

What we keep finding

Half the trade businesses we
look at have no website at all.

Not a bad one. None. And of the ones that do have a site, most were built years ago and were never made to work on a phone.

How it works

Three steps, no meetings

01

We build it

Using your real details — your services, your phone number, your Google reviews, your hours. Nothing invented, nothing borrowed from a stock template.

02

You look at it

We send a link to the finished site. Open it on your phone, show it to your partner, sit on it for a week. There is nothing to sign up for and nobody will call you.

03

You decide

If you want it, it's $1,200 and we point it at your domain within a few days. If you don't, tell us and we take it down. That's the whole process.

What you get

One price. You own it.

  • The complete site, yours to keep — files and all
  • Connected to your own domain, or we'll get you one
  • Built to work properly on phones, tablets and desktop
  • A contact form that emails you directly
  • Your services, hours, service area and Google reviews
  • One round of changes after you've had a look
$1,200
One time · no monthly fee

No subscription. We are not renting you a page builder. You own the files and can host them anywhere, including with us.


Nothing up front. The site is built and live before money is mentioned. If it isn't right, you don't pay and we take it down.

Questions

Straight answers

Why would you build it before I pay?

Because describing a website is a waste of both our time. You can judge a finished page in ten seconds, and we would rather spend an hour building than an hour on a sales call. If you don't want it, we've lost an hour. That's an acceptable trade for us.

Is there really no monthly fee?

No. You pay once and own the files. If you'd like us to host it we can, but you're free to put it anywhere — your nephew's hosting account, your existing provider, wherever. Nothing stops working if you stop paying us, because there's nothing to stop paying.

What if I want changes?

One round is included after you've looked at it — wording, photos, colours, services, whatever. Larger changes later are billed hourly, and we'll tell you the number before starting.

Do I need a domain already?

No. If you have one we point the site at it. If you don't, we'll register one for you at cost and set it up.

Will it show up on Google?

It's built to be indexable, fast, and correctly marked up for local search, which is the part most small business sites get wrong. We won't promise a ranking — anyone who does is guessing.

Who actually does the work?

A small studio in Charlotte, North Carolina. You'll be dealing with the person who builds it.
